| Chapter 122 |
1 | I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah. |
2 | Our feet are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem, |
3 | Jerusalem, that art builded As a city that is compact together; |
4 | Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, [For] an ordinance for Israel, To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah. |
5 | For there are set thrones for judgment, The thrones of the house of David. |
6 | Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: They shall prosper that love thee. |
7 | Peace be within thy walls, And prosperity within thy palaces. |
8 | For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. |
9 | For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good. Psalm 123 A Song of Ascents. |
